When Bella falls ill with the very flu that Edward died from what will he do? Will Bella make it? And what will they come across on the way? And Bella and Edward must struggle with a pregnancy when Bella is seemingly near death.

"All done Bella"
Carlisle placed a bandage where the needle had been. Carlisle sat at
the foot of the bed. "I'm going to check and see how far along you
are okay?" I shook my head yes and he lifted the blanket up.

Edward was stroking my
hand with his thumb and worriedly surveying my face. "Edward, I'm
okay...this is normal" He nodded and smiled at me, bringing his
hand up to stroke my face. "I know I just, I just hate seeing you
in pain." He sighed and then turned to Carlisle.

"Well Bella, you are
only at 4 cm...halfway there, We may be in for a rough day."

"I'll leave you guys
alone, but if you need me call out." Carlisle left the room and the
door shut with a click.

After 2 hours of
contractions I was exhausted and still only at 6 cm. I wanted to
crawl under a rock and hide. I sat up and squeezed my eyes shut as
another torturous contraction came. Did most women have to go through
this many hours of labor?

I fell back onto the
pillow, hot and sweaty. I wanted so bad to be home in bed and asleep
with Edwards arms around me. Edward put his hands on my face, neck,
chest and my belly in an attempt to cool me off. His cold touch made
me shiver, but it felt good.

I closed my eyes and
breathed a sigh. I felt cool lips on my forehead. "I'm sorry, love"
Edward whispered against my skin. Most women get mad at their
husbands when they're in labor, but I couldn't bring myself to snap
at him when he was so comforting and understanding.

I don't think anyone has
ever had a more amazing husband. I tiredly brought my hand up to the
back of his neck and twirled my fingers in his hair. "I know" I
whispered. And brought my head up to kiss him.

"Your doing great, love.
Just think, once this is over we'll have two beautiful baby's" he
said to me. I smiled at the thought of seeing Edward with our
children in his arms. I knew he was ecstatic to be a father and I
knew he would be the most amazing dad our kids could ever ask for.
Edward sat down on the edge of the bed, only a couple inches from me.
I knew he was overwhelmed with worry, I could see it in his face. My
pain hurt him just as much as it hurt me.

I grunted and my eyebrows
pulled together as a new pain hit me. My chest began to hurt badly,
like it was being constricted. "Ed-war-d" I began to breathe
heavily barely able to get air into my lungs. "Bella. Honey? Whats
wrong? CARLISLE!!" I grasped his shirt frightened by the lack of
oxygen. Carlisle ran in and shuffled over to me. He put an oxygen
mask over my face and I began to catch my breath. "Bella?" I
looked up at Carlisle.

"Your getting too worked
up and stressed out, your heart went into overdrive. Try and breath
and relax, okay?" he then turned to Edward "Keep her calm, dont
let her fret." He nodded and Carlisle sat in the back of the room
to give us privacy but also so that he would be there if there were
more complications.

Edward traced the features
of my face with his fingers and wiped away the tears. "I know your
scared, love." He kissed me on the forehead. But Carlisle's
here...and I'm here and neither one of us are going to make you go
through this alone. We're here for you baby."

After a few more minutes
Carlisle took the oxygen mask off, after I had fully caught my
breath. Edward immediately kissed me on the lips and muttered "I
love you."

Do you want some Ice or
water honey?" Edward asked. I cleared my throat and realized it was
dry and I was parched. I could drink a whole trough at the moment.
"uh-huh" I said shaking my head. Edward got up from the bed and I
clung to his hand.

"Where are you going?"
He turned around and shook his head, flashing his crooked smile at
me, which would've stopped my heart if it wasn't beating a mile a
minute. "To get water..." I brought his hand to my lips and
kissed his fingers.

"Just relax, I'll be
right back." he assured me. He hurried out the door along with
Carlisle. As soon as it shut another pain came. I gripped the steel,
cold bars of the bed...but I needed to feel the cold of Edward's skin
and see his beautiful face. "Ughh-uh" I groaned. The pain was
everywhere, it was the worst pain I've ever felt in my life.

It had been five
minutes and he still wasn't back...In that time I'd already had two
contractions. This was going to happen soon and I needed him. Small
whimpers left my lips and heart rate accelerated. I heard footsteps
in the hall and prayed it was Edward. But Carlisle walked in.

"It's almost time
Bella..." He surveyed the room, seeing no Edward, which was strange
as I never let him leave me. "Where's Edward?" I wasn't sure why
but a small tear escaped my eye. Though I knew he never would, not
now, not ever, I still couldn't shake the thought that he might have
left me. "He W-went to g-go get ice."

Just at that moment
Edward busted in the door ice cubes nearly slipping out if the cup
and reclaimed his seat beside me. "Bella...honey? What's wrong?"
His eyebrows furrowed creating a crease along his forehead. I shook
my head trying to will the tears back and mumbled "nothing". He
took my hand in both of his and kissed it, then looked up at me and
unleashed his golden eyes, making my breathing stutter for a minute.

He nodded his head,
clearly wanting me to finish. I didn't want to say anything I knew
how hard it was for him and me as well to remember those months. I
was about to speak when a new pain came...worse than before much
worse. "Aggghh..." I gripped Edwards hand, it was a good think he
wasn't breakable for my tight hold on him would've hurt if he were
human. Carlisle sat at the end of the bed and nurses filed in.

"Okay Bella, at the
count of 3 I want you to push as hard as you can." I nodded my
head and frantically looked at Edward. He saw my worried eyes and
kissed my forehead. "I'm here. We're doing this together" "Okay
Bella...1...2...3. Push!" I squeezed my eyes shut and pushed as
hard as I could.

The pain now wasn't
spurring it was constant. Instead of laying on the pillow I was
halfway sitting up, Edward was behind me keeping me up. His arms
wrapped around me and grasped my hands helping me brace. "come on,
PUSH!" said a voice at the end of the bed I recognized to be
Carlisle's.

I braced myself and
pushed again. "There's the head...Push!" I looked over at Edward
and he had a grin on his face mixed with concern for me. "Your
doing great" he encouraged.

"One more time Bella"
I grasped Edwards hand even tighter and he responded by rubbing
circles on my hand. "Push!" With one long agonizing push the baby
was out. "Here's your BOY!" exclaimed Carlisle. I looked at
Edward who had a wide grin in his face. "One more Bella." I fell
back onto Edward, he brought his cold hand to my forehead brushing
the sticky hair out of my face. His cold touch felt so good.

"You can do this" he
assured me, though I wasn't so sure. "I don't think I can" I
already was exhausted and had the urge to close my eyes and sleep.
"You need to push Bella." Said Carlisle. "Look at me and push
sweetheart" said Edward. I focused on his face, re memorizing his
features. After 5 more minutes the second baby was out.

"And your girl...One
healthy boy and one healthy girl" said Carlisle handing her off to
the nurse to get cleaned up. Edward got up from behind me and gently
laid me back onto the pillow. I fell back limply.

I felt really bad and
weak. I could hear my heart monitor ...beep.. .
beep..........beep..................... beep...starting to slow down.
My eyes began to slide shut covering up my now foggy vision. I tried
to see Edward's face but it was so blurry. "Bella? BELLA?" called
Edwards frantic voice. "She's bleeding too much. Marie get over
here...get me towels!" Carlisle urged. I heard two loud crys...my
baby's and Edward saying "Hold on for me Bella" then blackness.

It felt as if
something was pushing me down and I was surrounded by thick fog.
There was a faint whooshing sound in my ears. And then I heard a soft
hum. It sounded like rock-a-bye baby. And then the angelic voice
spoke. "Your mommy's right there...see?" And then something cold
touched my hand. "Bella?..Bella honey? Can you hear me?" I wanted
to answer him and to see his face, grasp his cold hand, anything bur
my body wouldn't let me.

I couldn't even open my
eyes. "Our children need the momma...and I need you." His voice
cracked at the end. "You have to be okay...you will be okay, I
can't live without you. We've been through so much ... Stay with me."

He squeezed my hand and
then released it. "Move one of those pretty little fingers and let
me know your okay." He sounded as if he was choking... and I was
sure if he could he would be crying. I wanted to stop his pain, hold
him and tell him I'm fine but it was like I was completely
incapacitated all apart from being able to hear my angel.

My body felt sore, and it
felt as if my limbs were detached but when I felt his touch again
everything faded away. Edward stroked the length of my arm and then
his fingers framed my face, cupping my chin in his hand. I felt his
marble lips on my forehead and he sighed.

"I love you so...so
much honey." Warmth touched my arm and I felt a little body against
me breathing short breaths. "This is our daughter Bella." he said
with so much emotion...I wanted to see my baby's so much it ached.

EDWARDS POV

I lay our beautiful baby girl in Bella's
arms. She had pools of dark brown for eyes, just like her mother. She
resembled Bella in so many ways.

As I looked at her next to
Bella, everything was perfect...right. Well it would've been perfect
if Bella...if she was awake. I cradled our baby boy in my arms and he
looked at me with wide eyes. I was so overwhelmed with happiness that
Bella and I had created two perfect little miracles with our love.

I thought I would never
find a soul mate and that I would never be able to father children
but Bella changed that...she changed everything, no doubt for the
better. She looked so peaceful lying there. Asleep. The squeak of the
door interrupted my thoughts. Carlisle walked in with a solemn face
and then when he saw the picture before him he smiled.

But I looked up at him
with eyes filled with worry. "She'll be okay" he said shaking his
head and running his fingers through his hair. "Her vitals are
good, she should wake within the next few hours." I nodded my head
still unconvinced. "Why did she lose consciousness?"

Before answering Carlisle
came over to me and sat down stroking the face of my son. "The loss
of blood reduced the amount of oxygen able to reach her brain and she
began to shut down. But she's on an IV, she is getting medicine and
like I said her vitals are good." I didn't answer, never taking my
eyes off Bella. Carlisle patted my back reassuringly and left the
room.

About an hour went by
and every couple minutes I would whisper in Bella's ear how much I
loved her. Both the babies were sleeping on the other side of the
hospital room. Carlisle had given special permission to allow me to
set up a room for them in here so I wouldn't have to leave Bella's
side. As I looked back over at my wife, I noticed her eyelids began
to flutter and her breathing sounded shallow and ragged like she had
been running for awhile.

"Bella?" Her eyelids
opened and she squinted trying to get her eyes to adjust and those
big brown eyes met mine. "Hey" she whispered so low it barely
even escaped her mouth. I knelt down by the bed and took her hand.
"hey" I replied my eyebrows forming a crease on my forehead, my
mouth agape, like I didn't know what to say.

Her arm slowly reached up
to smooth out my forehead. "What happened?" she asked "I
thought...I-I would lose you." It came out all broken up in between
my dry sobs. "I would never leave you...not without a fight."
she told me. I smiled and got up walking to the cradles. I gingerly
picked up our children and held them in my arms gently bringing them
to Bella.

She smiled ear to ear,
whenever she smiled it radiated off her and you couldn't help but
smile back. "Bella, meet our children..." A small tear rolled
down her rosy cheek as I placed our daughter in her arms again. I
crawled into the bed with her, holding our son.

We were both facing each
other, in our own little world. Her and I and our family. She looked
up at me and said "Everything is so perfect, so right, there is not
a thing I would change about this moment... I love you so much."

Her eyes then fell to her
baby girl and boy and stroked both their cheeks. "I love you two so
much." The baby's cooed at there mothers touch. "They love you
too, as do I" I leaned forward and gave her a kiss on her beautiful
lips and she responded by whispering my name. "Edward...thank you"
